Yesterday I was reading a post on Cyclopeatron regarding OSR blogs and how they are pumping out a Dragon Magazine's worth of material every day or two, an exciting observation of itself. It was however the following quote that got me thinking.

"Entirely too much of that dragon magazine's worth of material is equivalent to forum letters, rather than articles. I am fairly frustrated during my daily blog roll review at the amount of posts that are nothing more than opinion pieces on "what OSR means" and the absurd "OSR is dead" other rubbish". -C from Hack & Slash www.hackslashmaster.blogspot.com

It was then that I thought surely there WAS a Dragon Magazine's worth of content out there, it just needed to be collected in an edited form, and specifically in the form of an RPG magazine index that linked to each of the individual articles.

That is what The Wyrm is. If you have any recommendations about specific articles or general content that you think should be covered please leave a comment for consideration. I plan to create an index for the "magazine" once a month. Look forward to the March 2011 "issue" in the coming week.

About Me

I am a fine artist that works as a graphic designer in the motion picture industry. I played Dungeons & Dragons from 1982 - 1991 as well as several other RPGs. I rediscovered RPGs in 2007 after deciding to take a look back at the sources of my creative influence (Fantasy & Science Fiction Books and Films, Comic Books and Role-Playing Games).
